The full interior and details of the new Type 01 EV have been revealed by Jaguar itself.
The team behind the new car have given a full walkthrough of the car to a YouTube channel.
No stone was unturned, as they discussed everything from its design philosophy to its charging figures.
There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding the Jaguar Type 01
Following in the tire marks of the Type 00, the Type 01 has been building up hype for quite some time now.
Back in August, the Supercar Blondie team got to have a sneak peek at the car before its big reveal.
And then last month, we revisited it after its unveiling to get better acquainted with it.
There was a lot to like about it, from its 1,061-hp powertrain to its ultra-modern look.
But it turns out that there’s even more to love about this car.
What secrets did the Jaguar design team reveal about the Type 01?
Now, the Jaguar design team has given us a walkthrough of the Type 01.
“It must be unique,” Alexey Andreev, the lead exterior designer, said.
“When you look at the car, think of the word ‘exuberant’. Look at the proportion, look at the modernity, and ask yourself a question ‘Have you ever seen a car like this before?'”
Four years with a dedicated team of engineers brought this car from the drawing board to reality.
The Type 01 has received a ton of prestigious distinctions – it’s the company’s most refined, most powerful and most aerodynamic car.
In many ways, this car is a total reimagining – there’s no big grille at the front for a start, with just four slim lines of light stretching across it.
This was done so that people would recognize the car straight away.
“You see those four lines in your rear view mirror and your mind will instantly make the connection that that’s the new Jaguar,” Andreev said.
It’s a similar story at the back of the vehicle, where a ‘hidden until lit’ strikethrough graphic and a concealed spoiler leave the panel clean.
“We haven’t worried whatsoever about the traditional EV rule book,” Andreev explained.
“Instead, what we focused on is making this car first and foremost a Jaguar. So it’s about drama. It’s about excitement. It’s about being unique.”
Taking a closer look at the Type 01’s interior
The inside is more about length than it is about width.
Materials include Ultrafabrics Nerain, a wool-blend Kvadrat textile and embossed anodised aluminum finished to look like brass.
“Luxury doesn’t always mean more materials,” Tom Holden, the interior designer, said.
“Every material has a role. It has a reason for being there.”
Three brass lines run the full length of the cabin, and a 24-inch OLED driver display carries all of the key functions.
The screen itself sits lower, matching the seats which are positioned closer to the ground.
“Many modern EV packages make you feel like you’re sat on the car and definitely not within it,” Holden said.
“But it’s incredibly important with this being a Jaguar that this wasn’t the case.
“So our engineering team went to great lengths when developing this package to absolutely perfect this low GT driving position.”
The Type 01 EV will be available to order at the start of 2027 and will deliver later that year, arriving as a 2028 model year vehicle, priced at around $170,000.
We can’t wait to see more of it.
